Not being from the USA and having no interest in the Countries affairs, I have never heard of him . But, when talking about the distant past, many people are inclined to exaggerate a bit , especially in war situations .
A helicopter did indeed get shot down, he told the truth in that respect .
He was in a helicopter on the day in the area, he told the truth in that respect .
The only detail that was incorrect was which helicopter he was in .
So, it wasnt a complete lie , he just got a few minor details wrong .
It was a long time ago, so he can forgiven for getting a few details mixed up .
Can you remember exactly where you were 20 years ago .
Whether you was in either one bus or another one right behind ?
